Book
Drowning in darkness / Peter Oliva.
This is set in a coal-mining community in southern Alberta's Crowsnest Pass. Elements of the fantastic exist in the land itself, particularly in the gassy, bituminous coal-mines found in the Pass. While one might expect a mine's roof to fall, it is in fact the floor that continually heaves up under a miner's boots. The methane that seeps from the rock and circulates throughout a coal-mine creates this magic, able to soften coal or induce sleep and incite dreams. The mine's gas-marbled darkness and a story about a woman from southern Italy longing to escape the Pass are combined to bring about a fantastic suggestion that washes the reader of her tale right back to its beginning.
